I actually like this trade. Hate to see Kunitz go when he's been playing so well lately, but Whitney can put up some big numbers when healthy and should be a huge addition to the power play and a good replacement for when Pronger goes.

From the Ducks Board... I wonder if this guy knows Whitney can only score back-door...

Whitney's value was much lower than I thought. Kunitz blows. He may be the Pens best ES wing, but that is more an indication of the Pens not having any good ES wings. He tries hards and is a decent skater, but is a borderline top 6 type wing. He was on waivers a few seasons ago and absolutely sucks during the playoffs. He is not a top goal scorer at all and had his best season as the 3rd wheel on the Selanne/MacDonald line. He isn't even a proven #2 guy on a line and he has declined a bit the past few seasons.

Tangradi was invisible at the WJC and is posting his OHL stats as a 20 year old.

This is a classic example of selling a player at his lowest value. Not a good move IMO.
